Singh v. Gonzales

*73MEMORANDUM**

Jasbir Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) summary affirmance without opinion of an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) order denying his applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Where, as here, the BIA affirms without opinion, we review the IJ’s decision. See Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 849 (9th Cir.2003). We review for substantial evidence an adverse credibility finding, see Malhi v. INS, 336 F.3d 989, 992 (9th Cir.2003), and we deny the petition for review.

Significant internal inconsistencies in Singh’s testimony, as well as specific discrepancies between his testimony and his documentary evidence involving his name, the suspect medical reports he submitted, and his family’s place of residence, support the IJ’s adverse credibility determination. See id. at 993-95. Accordingly, Singh failed to establish eligibility for asylum and withholding of removal. Id.

Singh’s CAT claim also fails because he has not shown that it is “more likely than not” that he will be tortured if returned to India. 8 C.F.R. § 208.16(c)(2); see also id. at 993.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
